Hayden Panettiere opens up about her secret addiction to opioids and alcohol.
Hayden says at one point, her addiction to alcohol got so bad that she was hospitalized, suffering from jaundice, and the docs warned her liver was going to give out. Now, she says, trauma therapy and inpatient treatment over the last year have brought her to a place of piece ... but it's take a lot of work.
As a childhood star, she says someone on her team gave her"happy pills" before she appeared on red carpets,"They were to make me peppy during interviews. I had no idea that this was not an appropriate thing, or what door that would open for me when it came to my addiction." She says as the addiction got worse, she did have one place of sobriety,"My saving grace is that I couldn't be messy while on set and working ... But things kept getting out of control [off set]. And as I got older, the drugs and alcohol became something I almost couldn't live without."The last time we saw Hayden, she was in massive brawl with her boyfriend Brian Hickerson, back in March. Now, she seems to be better than ever, happy to be getting a second chance.
